Monster Chetwynd: “Tears” 🕘21:00 📍In front of @copenhagen_contemporary British artist Monster Chetwynd’s performance ‘Tears’ brings together ballet dancers and large plastic spheres to create the shape of a giant Salvador Dalí-inspired eye.

Art in a Day – 24 hours of performance art presents: Martin Creed / Baby Dee / Sophie Dupont There is a month until Art in a Day fills Copenhagen with spectacular performances. Amongst other things you can experience a performance about breathing, a cacophonous performance using the city’s church bells, and a magnificent Gothic musical performance inspired by Phantom of the Opera. Read more about the performances here: MARTIN CREED - `All the Bells` 🕗 23 June at 11:22 📍 In front of Kunstforeningen GL STRAND @kunstglstrand For three minutes the streets of the inner city will be filled by a deafening, cacophonous performance of a work incorporating Copenhagen’s church bells, the ringing of bells by primary school children and the city’s soundscape by Turner Prize award-winning artist Martin Creed. SOPHIE DUPONT – ‘I Breathe You, Do You Breathe Me?’ 🕗 24 June, 11:00–18:00 📍 Kunsthal Charlottenborg, upper foyer / @kunsthalcharlottenborg The pulsating sound of Sophie Dupont and her co-performers’ breathing is sent out through speakers in Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s upper foyer. In the course of a performance lasting all day Dupont is both conductor and instrument of their breaths as she invites those present to share a moment with her, a quiet dance anchored in their breathing – can we connect with each other by breathing together? BABY DEE – ‘Where Oceans Know Us’ 🕗 24 June at 15.00 + 17:00 📍 Nikolaj Kunsthal / @nikolajkunsthal The American performer (and former organist!) Baby Dee takes over Nikolaj Kunsthal with a magnificent, gothic ‘phantom-of-the-opera’ musical performance of organ music, with Mabe Fratti on the cello. By all accounts this performance will appeal especially to those of you who despise good behaviour. @martin_creed @sophie_dupont #babydee We look forward to seeing you! @denfrieudstillingsbygning * @copenhagen_contemporary * @nikolajkunsthal * @overgaden_ * @kunsthalcharlottenborg * @kunstglstrand The programme is curated by @creatorprojects Photos: Baby Dee portrait credit: Tin Angel Records * Martin Creed portrait * Sophie Dupont

ART IN A DAY – 24 hours of performance art presents: KASPERSOPHIE / JULES FISCHER / VALIE EXPORT Today we highlight three artists from our Art in a Day programme on 24 June. The Danish design and artist duo KASPERSOPHIE @kaspersophie_studiopresents the interactive art experience, “Peuple”. Here you enter the department store Magasin and see a seductive large-format advertising print of a folk costume in child size. The visual clash between the folk costume and the department store's contemporary consumer goods makes people stop and marvel. What is it? Is it for sale? And who is it for? KASPERSOPHIE – “Peuple” 🕛 10:00–20:00 📍 Magasin, Kongens Nytorv. Sales stand on the ground floor The total installation “VANITAS” by visual artist and choreographer Jules Fischer @team_tendertakes you into a dark and dreamy world of queer bodies ruled by change and transience. VANITAS is filled with ambivalence and everything is in a constant state of flux as a tribute to queer and trans communities everywhere and to those who need to change to become whole. JULES FISCHER – ”VANITAS” 23 June, 23:00 @denfrieudstillingsbygning VALIE EXPORT @ateliervalieexport, a pioneer in early feminist performance art and an important voice in gender policy debates. During Art in a Day, she invites you to interact with her film, “Ping Pong”, using a ball and a racquet. ‘Ping Pong’ explains the relationship of power between producer (director, screen) and consumer (viewer). VALIE EXPORT – “Ping Pong” 🕛 Shown on a loop. Starting at 00:01. VALIE EXPORT performs at 14:00 📍 Festsalen, Akademiet/ @kunsthalcharlottenborg Find and follow Art in a Day on Facebook and explore our programme packed with performance art.

ART IN A DAY – 24 hours of performance art presents: ARVIDA BYSTRÖM Step into ‘A Cybernetic Doll's House’ with Arvida Byström’s seven-hour-long performance where the artist dates an A.I. sex doll – a luxury model sex doll designed to learn and have a real conversation with its owner at O - Overgaden. In the durational performance, Byström explores digital feminized objects such as Apple's Siri. Even though these are artificial objects, they still embody a gender. And just how complex conversations can one have with these machine-learning protocols? @arvidabystrom • ‘A Cybernetic Doll's House’ 🕗 Starting at 13 - 20 (durational) 📍 O - Overgaden @overgaden_ Find and follow Art in a Day on Facebook and explore our programme packed with performance art.

@mette.riise is the second artist to enter Platform, our new exhibition space. With six annual exhibitions it is Platform's mission to celebrate young and emerging artists and curators. Mette Riise’s contribution is called The Less Unsustainable Talkshow. It's curated by @rebeccakrasnik Which stories about the climate crisis, green transition and sustainability exist in our society today? What are they really based on, and who is the narrator in them? The film work by Mette Riise is made up of several layers of staging, genres and storytelling techniques, which dissolve and merge. This hybrid format reflects the complexity and absurdity in the conversation about the climate crisis as an isolated problem. During the film, the conversation therefore also develops to deal with power structures and the social, political and historical systems that are embedded in our society. Platform is supported by #DetObelskeFamiliefond. Also a big thank you to #RådetForVisuelKunst #PolitikenFonden @elefantprint @hallgren_maler Photo: @madsholmmads #Platform #MetteRiise #RebeccaKrasnik #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #biodiversity #GreenEconomy #EnvironmentalCollaps #NikolajKunsthal #Copenhagen #DKkultur #dkkunst

Final call * Sunday May 8 is the very last chance to experience the critically acclaimed exhibition The Cult of Oxytocin by @ditte_ejlerskov. The exhibition occupies the entire house and offers duotone paintings, woven rugs, 3D printed NFT sculptures and meditative video projections. Ejlerskov’s digital reinterpretation of The Wrestlers shows two women fighting. The work is an interpretation of the ancient marble sculpture of two wrestling men in the Uffizi Galleries in Florence. The wrestler sculpture is a recurring motif in the exhibition. For Ejlerskov, the avatar-like bodies in the sculpture represent oxytocin and adrenalin, respectively, fighting for power in the human blood. In many of the works in the exhibition, only the top wrestler is represented. She acts as the ‘goddess of the cult’, the upper hand of oxytocin. The QR code in marble on the floor in the Lower Gallery allows the audience to interact with the work on their own mobile or tablet.
